Manga Classics: Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë, Crystal Chan, SunNeko Lee

I'm reading this while biding my time in Booklikesopoly jail. The weather was too terrifying last night to even consider trying to write reviews. On the plus side, I never lost power.

 

It's been a while since I read the book. I don't recall liking it all that much. It wasn't bad, but I disliked Rochester since I knew what was going on and what he was roping Jane into. Although my memories of the original are somewhat vague, this seems to be a pretty faithful adaptation. The occasional "manga humor" panels are a bit at odds with the overall feel of the volume, but the rest of it is good.

 

Rochester has just asked Jane to marry him, and I continue to dislike him.
